MemAscend: System Memory Optimization for SSD-Offloaded LLM Fine-Tuning
Owing to the huge success of generative artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a core subclass, underpinning applications such as question answering, text generation, and code completion. While fine-tuning these models on domain-specific data can yield significant performance gains, it also poses daunting computational challenges, especially for researchers and small organizations with limited hardware resources. Although SSD offloading (i.e., ZeRO-Infinity) …

Real-World Modeling of Computation Offloading for Neural Networks with Early Exits and Splits
We focus on computation offloading of applications based on convolutional neural network (CNN) from moving devices, such as mobile robots or autonomous vehicles, to MultiAccess Edge Computing (MEC) servers via a mobile network. In order to reduce overall CNN inference time, we design and implement CNN with early exits and splits, allowing a flexible partial or full offloading of CNN inference. Through real-world experiments, we analyze an impact of the CNN inference offloading on the total CNN …

Every company is undergoing an invisible reorg. You report to your boss but your boss reports to an #AI, offloading the job of management entirely onto a bot and then merely communicating its wishes back to the team.
This is the Nothing Manager, surrounded by #LLM tools to avoid having to interact with…

AI is not an assistant – it's your new boss (The Everything App part 2)
As managers continue to outsource data-gathering and decision-making to LLMs, the person above you on the org chart is transforming into a chatbot's clerk – and leaving product teams with the consequences.

Attitude Control of Solar Sail with Reflectivity Control Devices
Solar sails offer a promising solution for fuel free propulsion, enabling novel mission profiles and deeper space exploration. While reaction wheels are standard for spacecraft attitude control, the large moment of inertia of solar sails often lead to frequent reaction wheel saturation, necessitating momentum offloading via additional control methods. Magnetorquers have historically been used for this purpose. This paper investigates Reflectivity Control Devices (RCDs) as an alternative method …
